Darren J. Englert opted not to testify during his trial this past week on accusations that he and two acquaintances plotted to kill Jeremy K. Gibson, a 26-year-old Lafayette father who was brutally beaten and buried in a shallow grave on a Tippecanoe County cornfield on July 6, 2011.

But jurors still got to hear Englert's explanation of what transpired that morning - thanks to his prior, related guilty plea hearing on March 16 to murder, which prosecutors played Thursday in Tippecanoe Superior Court 1.
